  • Los Días Del Triunfo
    Los días del triunfo Cuando el Palacio pasó a ser nada atista tomó las de Villadiego cuando la candela lo sacó de su concha de caracol, dejando en una situación embarazosa a B quienes confiaron en él hasta el último momento. Abandonó el Palacio Presidencial pasadas las 2:00 de la tarde del miércoles 31 de diciembre de 1959 para dirigirse a su finca Kuquine y ya jamás volvería a poner un pie en el despacho del se- gundo piso, donde tan jugosos frutos había cosechado de la Silla de doña Pilar. O de la otra que la había sustituido por órdenes expresas suyas. Su mujer e hijos habían salido con rumbo a la Casa Militar del Presidente en Columbia, donde se les unió Batista cuando iban a dar las 12:00 de la noche. Y de allí a la fuga. De modo que al menos durante cinco días el Palacio resultó un edificio tan inútil en su función ejecutiva como pudo serlo cual- quier otro de los alrededores. Era la primera vez que se producía una circunstancia de esa naturaleza desde el 31 de enero de 1920, cuando fue inaugurado con bombos y platillos por Mario García Menocal. Hubo, sí, un intento por ocupar el sillón vacío el 1ro de enero de 1959; pero la cosa no pasó de ahí. Los ideólogos de aquel plan fueron el propio Batista y el general Eulogio Cantillo, quien enca- bezó una junta militar y ordenó ir en busca del magistrado de más antigüedad en la Audiencia, a quien correspondía asumir el cargo por imposibilidad del vicepresidente y el secretario de Estado, ambos dados a la fuga junto a Fulgencio Batista.

Estas páginas tratan acerca de esa gesta y dan continuidad a un libro anterior, Fidel : De Birán a Cinco Palmas, que recoge los pri- meros treinta años de vida del líder revolucionario.

Phillips, and Magena Rodriguez* That the United States has long had a strained relationship with Cuba is no secret to the international community. Most recently, this strain has been embodied in a commercial, economic and financial embargo that has been enforced by the United States since 1962. That said, focusing only on this limited stretch of history would ignore the greater context of American–Cuban relations. This paper takes a step back to conduct a historical analysis, examine the current state of relations, and to posit on the potential of future economic ties between the two nations. After a thorough

    Repnnled by permission of McGraw.HiIIBook Co. from The Art of Revolution by DugaldStemier. @ 1970 by DugaldSlemm. "On my island, inspired by your example we shall shape our conscience and build Communism," says Fidel Castro in this poster harking back to (clockwise from upper left) Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, a leader of Cuba's 1868 war of independence; Antonio Maceo and Mdximo Gomez, veterans of the 1868 and 1895 rebellions against Spain; Josi Marti, martyred leader of the 1895 revolt; and Camilla Cienfuegos and Ernesto Chi Guevara, early Castro lieutenants in the Sierra Maestra. The Wilson QuurterlyWinter 1978 56 Last June, the United States and Cuba began the process of restoring formal diplomatic relations. Already American dip- lomats have been stationed in Havana, and Cuban diplomats in Washington. Such tentative steps toward "normalization" follow almost two decades of Cold War hostility. Washington still sees some outstanding issues: compensation for $1.8 billion in nationalized American property; Cuba's ambitious nuclear power program; its widespread military intervention in Africa; and the fact that Fidel Castro has kept more political prisoners in jail for a longer time than any other Latin strongman. Yet Castro's attempts to export his revolution to the rest of Latin America have failed. Cuba remains a one-party Communist state and a Soviet ally, but it has a history and character of its own. Here, historians Martin Sherwin and Peter Winn review past Cuban-American relations, while political scientist Richard R. Fagen examines Cuba's special dependence on the Soviet Union.
